Fiesty, can you explain to all the christians and Jews of the world what is wrong with the bible? It appears that you are making fun of Perry if he has a bible. Thats quite a few people your religious bigotry continues to offend. Would you refer to the leader of the muslim world as guns and Koran what a great combination?
Maybe we can hook him and Dick up for a hunting expedition. If the aim is as good as normal they can help us all out and eliminate two problems at one time.
And Kirk, most liberals believe that there is nothing wrong with the Bible. A large number even study it. What is wrong is how republicans tend to use it and to twist its teachings to serve their own devices. Its sad, and it is wrong.
OK- I lied, sort of. One's detached. But here's the deal:
The first house I remember as a little kid had an outhouse. Not as an extra toilet- it was THE toilet. When it rained, there were at least half a dozen pans and pails set up to catch the rain from the leaky roof. Baths were taken in a wash tub. See, now I have what I have- and here's where you can ding me all day long, Spank: I did it on a high school diploma. Nope. No college degree. No prayin' to some God. No inheritance, other than $5K from Dad's insurance from work when he and mom died. Just hard work and honest living.
Why am I sharing that with you, of all people? Simply because I want you and the other righties to understand that not everyone on the left is incapable of hard work and self-betterment. Some of us actually care about our neighbors and others, rather than ME FIRST.
OK- you can now ridicule me for being a high-schooler, now. Won't bother me a bit. As a matter of fact, I bet I have a hell of a lot more than a lot of the degree holders that post on here about 'socialists' and 'freeloaders'.
DBO Guess what there are also a lot of conservatives and independents that care about their neighbors and others too. We just expect personal responsibility as well.
Liberals should shoot a gun now and then. Be sure though Libs you get some instruction on what end to hold - it's awfully embarrassing if you get that part of the process wrong.
Amy--it may be an acquired taste. I actually have a gun---it was an anniversary gift from my husband a few years ago! We enjoy target shooting and competitions (he is very good, I'm not so good but improving). We also golf so I guess we've got it covered.
And Ammo! The NRA would soon be sponsoring "golf" tournaments, and instead of a caddy you would need a spotter. I got to get the details worked out but there is potential for some fun for the whole family!
Since I play golf and love to shoot guns at the range, I can tell you they both are enormous fun. Both can be great stress relievers and good for him. Not sure why this is newsworthy though. I seem to remember the progressives focusing on Bush spending too much time golfing but dont seem to want to do that to Obama.
Dont make fun of hoops--I give credit to Obama for his hoops playing and love his personal valet--former hoops and football player at the best school around ha.
Why, then, did the Perry Campaign put this video together? Seems to me there has to be some reason why they want us to see this?
Maybe this is the reason...
Is Romney A Hunter? Depends On What Hunt Is
But on Wednesday, The Associated Press reported that Mr. Romney had in fact been hunting only twice: once during that summer when he was 15 and spending time at a relative’s ranch in Idaho, and again on the occasion last year, a quail shoot at a fenced-in game preserve in Georgia with major donors to the Republican Governors Association.
Da Noid, I am sure it is. Perry is losing GOP base voters quickly with many of his Texas moderate positions and needs to pander to get votes. No different than Hillary and Obama did in 08 by pandering to the radical left on stuff. Its all about winning the GOP votes now and they certainly are not going to pander to people on this blog. When you look at the 10 swing states--Florida, Virginia, NC, Ohio and to some extent even Michigan and Wisconsin are huge hunting states and all but Wisconsin have gun carry permit laws. Romney is unlikely to appeal to this group. But for the GOP in front of his name, Romney would likely appeal to most in this blog.
In case Msnbc is trying ( and we know you are) to paint a "crazy" picture of Perry..........."U.S. citizens own 270 million of the world's 875 million known firearms, according to the Small Arms Survey 2007 by the Geneva-based Graduate Institute of International Studies."
I do not own a gun but Perry is like most Americans. No different. Just because you Obama a$% kissers at Msnbc are desperate, you write attack articles obvious when it comes to the GOP candidates. After what you did to Palin, it's so OLD. If I were working at Msnbc , I would be embarrassed. MSNBC LACKS INTEGRITY. Can any one of you hold your head up high?
LEONA: how does reporting on what a potential future President of the United States does as a hobby qualify as reporting him as "crazy" ? Are YOU saying that people who shoot guns as a hobby are crazy ? Are YOU saying that gun owners are crazy ?
No where in the very short lead into the video release by Rick Perry or his supporters is there any indication that anyone is saying this activity, or that Rick Perry by participating in it, is crazy.
Commentators who don't like Rick Perry and do think he is crazy might say that, however.
hey dirp101, You don't think the words "sniper fire" creates a derogatory image?! THINK AGAIN. If Obama was a gun owner, the words "sniper fire" would never be used and you know it. Put the kool aid down, you're drunk enough already. BTW, I never said that people who own guns are crazy, read what I said before you allow your blood pressure to soar. It's not good for your health.
Rick Perry is shooting a sniper rifle. That's what he is doing. How, by reporting is it is
"Msnbc is trying ( and we know you are) to paint a "crazy" picture of Perry " ?
Again, no where in the short blurb or in the video is there any reference to crazy. Yet with your opening line being the only reference to crazy, you complain because I call you out on it.
I find it amusing that you protest so much and try to defend your position complain the loudest by being the only one calling Rick Perry crazy.
I never mentioned President Obama. I don't know (or care) if he is a gun owner. If the President was foolish enough to allow a poor quality u-tube video of him be created, he would deserve whatever ridicule would come from it.
I happen to like the headline of the vine feed. It did what it was supposed to, it got my attention (and yours too, apparently.) I'm not at all surprised at the left slant to the headline. Funndy that Fox didn't cover this story. I guess they really couldn't find a way to make this poorly made video look good.
Here's one of the "lowest ratings" show host Lawrence O'Donnell from MSNBC speaking about Perry: "This Twilight Zone: How can this happen? Here's their favorite killer, state-sanctioned killer up there."
O'Donnell gets a pass (from the left wing media) with this KIND OF language while the POTUS runs around the country ADMONISHING ABOUT CILVILITY, hahaha, and you liberals are always complaining about FOX NEWS.
LEONA, put a sock in it already! That whole "favorite killer, state-sanctioned killer" line has to do with the number of executions Gov. Perry has presided over in Texas.
But, you already know this don't you. You are just being the quintessential RWNJ Troll who comes on this blog daily to spout one or another outlandish far-right talking point bashing the President.
Yes we liberals do mock FOX, and it's people like yourself that reinforce the validity of our point every day!
As to Perry and his weapon (gun is an incorrect description in this case)? The only need for a Sniper Rifle is in the military. Sniper's are highly trained marksmen who's sole job is to kill the enemy without being seen or heard. So what motivates a person like Rick Perry to find affinity with the role of a Sniper?
It is comforting to know that people that are mentally unstable can carry a gun.
I believe the Constitution gives a person the right to keep and bare arms. It does not give anyone the right to own bullets! Ball and powder would be o.k. as that is what they had when the Constitution was written. Gave a person time to reason while he was loading his gun.
SayitaintSo, "put a sock in it already!".........You really should "put a sock in it", LIKE I SAID...............O'Donnell gets a pass (from the left wing media) with this KIND OF language while the POTUS runs around the country ADMONISHING ABOUT CILVILITY, hahaha, and you liberals are always complaining about FOX NEWS.
Perry wouldn't look good in plaid golf pants anyway-it's ust as well. But He's not going to get the Bo Calloway vote in Kentucky any way-they make golf clubs and golf balls.
What makes this couple "great Patriots"? The fact that they make and sell guns to the U.S. Military? Is owning a profit making venture enough to make you a "great American"?
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they ARE great Americans, I have no reason to doubt their Patriotism, but it's more than making and selling guns that makes them that, right Governor, right?
What a manly man little Ricky is...
Guns & Bibles what a GREAT combination! lol
I'm surprised as I would of thought golf would be a safer choice when it comes to his toupee slipping...
Hey Rick - have you killed a coyote today?
A Toupee? Really?
So how is it you know this fact old gal?
Fiesty, can you explain to all the christians and Jews of the world what is wrong with the bible? It appears that you are making fun of Perry if he has a bible. Thats quite a few people your religious bigotry continues to offend. Would you refer to the leader of the muslim world as guns and Koran what a great combination?
Sound like Kirk and Spans need to call a cop this afternoon.
Oh wait- they ARE the cops!
Naw, not a cop.
Fact is I try to stay as far away from the police as I can.
Oh and Drive By - a FIVE car garage?
Man, I am so J.
Maybe we can hook him and Dick up for a hunting expedition. If the aim is as good as normal they can help us all out and eliminate two problems at one time.
And Kirk, most liberals believe that there is nothing wrong with the Bible. A large number even study it. What is wrong is how republicans tend to use it and to twist its teachings to serve their own devices. Its sad, and it is wrong.
Only thing you hunt with a gun like that is humans.
That gun is tits.
"Oh and Drive By - a FIVE car garage?"

Including pride and self-esteem.
But hey, what does 'Buzz' know?
DBO Guess what there are also a lot of conservatives and independents that care about their neighbors and others too. We just expect personal responsibility as well.
Feisty, re: golf Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with a stick. It was called withcraft. Today it's called golf. Will Rodgers
Someone paid for that commercial?
Must have been the 'wiener dog'.
Nauseating.
(No offense to small dogs)
(Perry is an exception)
Barf.
I second that!!!!
Ah come on Amy shooting guns is mighty fun. Great stress reliever as well.
But tell us - have you ever shot a gun?
Liberals should shoot a gun now and then. Be sure though Libs you get some instruction on what end to hold - it's awfully embarrassing if you get that part of the process wrong.
Gotta agree with Spanky, Amy. Shooting is terrific sport and a great way to wind down.
Golf? not so much. I have thrown a a few clubs but have never come close to throwing a gun.
Just ask Cheney, right JAS?
Dick holds the correct end, he has other problems after that.
Best advise is if Dick invites you to go hunting, you should politely decline.
"Best advise is if Dick invites you to go hunting, you should politely decline"
Good advice.
Better advice, especially to a Dem Senator in a red state:
If Obama invites you to go campaigning, you should politely decline
Amy--it may be an acquired taste. I actually have a gun---it was an anniversary gift from my husband a few years ago! We enjoy target shooting and competitions (he is very good, I'm not so good but improving). We also golf so I guess we've got it covered.
Now if they could figure some way of combining golf and guns and alcohol....
But then the ATF would have to become the ATFG
The target he's shooting at is a silhouette of Romney. Funny, he keeps missing.
I thougth it was a silhouette of his foot.
Oh, he keeps MISSING. My mistake. Never mind.
That's because it keeps slipping into his mouth, particularly those practiced lines he tries to recite at debates. :D
Funny, Tom!
I tell you what, if you got to shoot at the little white ball to knock it around the course now that would be one hell of a neat game.
You would use up a lot of balls, wouldn't you?
And Ammo! The NRA would soon be sponsoring "golf" tournaments, and instead of a caddy you would need a spotter. I got to get the details worked out but there is potential for some fun for the whole family!
Before I sign up for tickets to the gallery, will they be enjoying a complimentary 'beer-cart'??
Oh yeah you got to have some alcohol to add to the mix of high powered weapons, it would be about un-American if you didn't.
[Oh yeah you got to have some alcohol to add to the mix of high powered weapons, it would be about un-American if you didn't.]
Yeah, just ask Dick Cheney...or maybe we should ask Harry Whittington...

I seem to remember the progressives focusing on Bush spending too much time golfing but dont seem to want to do that to Obama.
Shooting hoops doesn't count, Obama needs a gun!
Dont make fun of hoops--I give credit to Obama for his hoops playing and love his personal valet--former hoops and football player at the best school around ha.

Ha if they had a video of him shooting at illegals and union members that ought to do the trick.
Forrest that would be like shooting fish in a barrel--it would be much better to have a video of Obama shooting billionaires and millionaires ha
Shoot I got to go earn some bucks, had a lot fun, see you guys late tonight maybe. Have a nice evening everyone.
No wonder dogs are more loyal to conservative owners.
Gov Perry's dog's life was threatened by a menacing coyote. The Governor shot the coyote.
A liberal would have served the coyote with a summons to appear in animal court...... and run away whlist his loyal dog was eaten.
What kind of dog does pea-brain have? Chihuahua or Poodle? Most dogs and all humans make coyotes run.
But the fear-factor he imminates from his lost soul will attrack them.
